Reply to "Pantera Failed Hawaiian Safety Inspection, Ideas?"

As mentioned above, my car is now flagged all over the state, so can't go to any other station. And I've emailed back and forth to the"head guy" on Oahu, but he never gives me answer he just gives me this link of the definition of by Hawaii code as here
"Bumper", for purposes of this section means a horizontal load bearing protective system installed on a motor vehicle which is constructed of sturdy materials that will not shatter or split upon moderate impact and provides adequate protection.
And with that I figured we are good with the new carbon fib or bumpers from PI motors (carbon fiber is 5 times stronger than steel)
But of course now he says they have to be attached to the frame?! With monocoque body, I do not believe bumpers were never attached to the frame?
My question to him is…Why can another Pantera pass any where in the state, but now my can't. Consistency is necessary for creditability!
And now my pride and joy and investment (that is what I tell the kids & wife)which I drive about twice a week went from being worth$$$ to zero$
I plan taking the inspector to small claims court
and sue him for misguiding me into buying this bumpers $1600 installed, And hoping the Judge will side for him claiming that they are bumpers!
I lose the case, but get the definition correct!
I already told the inspector that his job was to enforce the laws and not modify/change them!
I can't believe my taxes pay for these clowns!
